Yeah, the one time I've driven to Canada they were mean, but the airport ones have always been nice enough. I don't need super friendly, just efficient and not mean.
You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I'm waiting for shrift's Canada border crossing story, which involves a bridesmaid's dress.

Yeah, I don't need super friendly, but asking me over and over if I want to change my "story", and telling me over and over that it will be "easier for me if I admit everything now", just because (apparently) I was a woman traveling alone? Not cool. Lucky I was actually visiting friends who could "confirm my story" after I insisted that, really, as a bilingual French-English doctorate holder, did they really think I couldn't figure out a way to move to Canada legally?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm not okay with anyone being assholes without provocation. Why bother? I am all for a default of detached near-pleasantness.
Speaking of mean: [link] (yeah, that link says homosocial nipple sucking--don't click if you don't want to know).

But suppose someone asks you about homosociality tomorrow? You'll be all "nipple-sucking-SOMETHING" and then you won't know any more.

Yeah, this.
I've never had problems crossing the border with my mother, but with people my own age, yeah, they've been tools.

I think I'm willing to live with this risk.

Yes. Yes, this, very much.
I've never had problems crossing any borders, but that may be because my appearance confuses them.
